Ingredients

  • Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves
  • Olive Oil: 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • Red Onion: 1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges
  • Vegetable Stock: 1.3l hot vegetable stock
  • Carrot: 300g carrot, cut into 2cm chunks
  • Butternut Squash: 300g peeled butternut squash, cut into 2cm chunks
  • Potato: 1 small potato, cut into 2cm chunks
  • Ras El Hanout: 1 tbsp ras el hanout
  • Parsnip: 300g parsnip, cut into 2cm chunks
  • Greek Style Yogurt: 6 tbsp Greek-style yogurt and 1 tbsp finely chopped mint, to serve (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip all the vegetables and the garlic into a roasting tin. Sprinkle over the ras el hanout and some seasoning, drizzle over the oil and give everything a good stir. Roast for 30-35 mins, turning the vegetables over halfway, until they're tender and starting to caramelise a little.
  2. Transfer the roasted veg to a large saucepan, pour over the hot stock and simmer for 5 mins. Puree the soup in a food processor, or in the pan with a hand blender, until smooth, then ladle into a flask for work. If eating at home, serve with a dollop of yogurt, a scattering of mint and a grinding of black pepper.
